I found out that ol' JD died today The funny thing is Is that I thought that he died some years ago And his ghost was sputtering about in some dilapidated mansion Where the curtains have rotted to the rod But, alas, he nearly lived to the centenarian status I imagine that he did not once own a television- He only heard the horror stories and how the ectoplasm Oozes from its mechanized chips and radioactive tube. It must have been especially disconcerting to him that countless people Use this medium to connect to an artificial reality, and Thereby, Learned about him without ever reading one word of anything he'd ever written Within such a corrupt medium T.V. time specials, ya know, documentaries... the new way to read a book advanced cliff's notes cause your a tard. Space images sent straight from the bowels of alpha centauri With technology that absorbs completely Well, JD, I hope your bones feed some beautiful trees

Had an uncle that never owned a tv or a car but it was because he didn't want to spend the money. Walked most everywhere he went lived to be 90, I bet this JD was an interesting character. Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara
